Ace Hotel Palm Springs A Hip Wedding Venue

Are you in the market for a hip and happening wedding venue? Look no further than the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs, CA. A 180 room hotel, spa & resort, complete with suites. It’s on the grounds of a renovated mid-century modern motel, and within walking distance to downtown. One of the best features of the hotel is that the rates are cheap for Palm Springs hotels, motels, inns, and rental properties, even if you book at the last minute. It’s like knowing a little secret. So, you can rest assured that all of your guests can afford to bunk up at this hip and happening hotel.

Of course thanks to the incredibly fabulous Lane Dittoe for taking the time out of his busy schedule to shoot the property for us.

The master suite is ideal for a wedding party and for the wedding couple to spend their first night at Mr. & Mrs.; it has a over sized bathroom perfect for getting ready and hanging out with the ladies. There are some super fabulous features to this suite including a private patio (235 – 265 SF) with lounge area, a fire pit, vinyl record players, and unique vintage furniture. You can also bring scruffy (your dog) along as The Ace Hotel is pet friendly.

The King’s Highway dinner is the bones of an old roadside diner, it is an interpretation of American peasant food for the desert with a focus on fresh, organic, and local ingredients. We highly recommend the jicama salad, Cotija corn off the cob, hanger steak salad, and the super yummy iced lattes made by an Italian cutie if you are lucky. Complete with an the old ranch-hand bar. The locals called it the Amigo Room, so the name stuck. Cheap beer and fresh, clean cocktails with homemade ingredients, and it’s all available poolside.

There is a special place on the property especially for you wedding or pretty much anything else you can think of. The walls open up to a circular pool, an intimate amphitheater, and views of the mountains. For more information please email sales sales.ps@acehotel.com or call 760.325.9900. Ask for our girl Hillary, she’s the sweetest and will take good care of you! Remember they are a dog friendly hotel so dogs are welcome at the event space too. When you check in, be sure to ask for Joe. We see him every time we visit and we love him to pieces.

Down Home Country Wedding

We are so excited to share Michelle and Troy’s Washington country style wedding with you! There are so many special details to this day, and Melissa Tomeoni of Soul Mates Photo was so kind to share with us.

There are so many fun facts about their special day, read on to hear all about them.  First, Michelle’s dad artfully created her alter by hand. After the ceremony and the fun began, Michelle toasted her new husband with a shot of Jack. Can you imagine Michelle and her sister speeding around the dance floor to the electric slide? Super cute for sure! I’m not sure which of these elements make my skin tingle and my heart smile but all of them have a dash of country and a whole lot of fun.

The bridesmaids were adorned in cowboy boots, crochet dresses and bouquets complete with wheat. The bride not only boasted her engagement ring but a promise ring made to resemble a horses bit. The guys looked ruggedly handsome in their cowboy boots, hats and belt buckles and while drinking from canning jars. Over the top, just how we like it.

Michelle and Troy married at the Wine & Roses Country Estate the perfect setting for a country style wedding. As guests arrived they perched on hay bales and the isle runner was made of canvas. Michelle’s dad drove her to the aisle in his classic pickup and she left in her new husband’s raised truck. A perfect exit for a backyard country wedding.
